The style of late Cenozoic deformation at the eastern front of the California Coast Ranges The style of late Cenozoic deformation at the eastern front of the California Coast Ranges
The 1983 Coalinga earthquake occurred at the eastern boundary of the California Coast Ranges in response to northeast directed thrusting. Such movements over the past 2 Ma have produced Coalinga anticline by folding above the blind eastern tip of the Coalinga thrust zone. The 600-km length of the Coast Ranges boundary shares a common structural setting that involves westward upturn of...

New and revised lithostratigraphic units from the southwestern New England Fold Belt New and revised lithostratigraphic units from the southwestern New England Fold Belt
New and revised lithostratigraphic units are recognized in northern New South Wales. New lithostatigraphic units are: Cara Formation, Whitlow Formation, Bobs Creek Formation, Nangahrah Formation, and Dinoga Formation. Revision of the Woolomin beds to Woolomin Group and Woodsreef Melange is proposed.

Integrating spatial and frequency information in the search for kuroko deposits of the Hokuroku District, Japan Integrating spatial and frequency information in the search for kuroko deposits of the Hokuroku District, Japan
A new method (FINDER) that uses the area of influence and Bayesian statistics to aid in selection of target areas on the basis of one or more variables and multiple observations was tested with drill hole data. A previously defined bimodal distribution of Na 2 O with the low sodium group confined to a 1.5 X 3.0-km zone beneath the cluster of deposits at Fukazawa was used as a control...

A guide to commonly used map projections prepared for use in HyperCard, 1988 A guide to commonly used map projections prepared for use in HyperCard, 1988
This guide briefly describes and illustrates the characteristics of 17 map projections commonly used to present thematic data. By means of simple sketches of the basic grid system of longitude and latitude known as the Earth's graticule, the guide shows examples of the following categories of map projections: planes (azimuthal), cones, cylinders, and miscellaneous. The text gives...
